The screened subnet firewall is blocking the scans.
Explanation: The rogue backend is in a protected (screened) subnet behind the load balancer, so firewall rules prevent direct scanning from the analyst’s location. You’d need access from inside the trusted zone or use permitted paths (load‑balancer logs/health checks) or request temporary access.
